Du Jia's words immediately aroused a fierce reaction from everyone, and the generals all shouted happily, but Wu Yong and other literati and Zong Ze and other people from the court looked at each other a little.
It's not that they have any mercy for the people of the Western Xia Kingdom, but they just think that Du Jia's approach is a little too "tyrannical", and it is a little inconsistent with the Confucian etiquette that emphasizes "loyalty, forgiveness, benevolence and righteousness", after all, these people have all surrendered or been injured, and will it affect the reputation of the Tang State if it is spread out like this.
In the end, they glanced at each other, and Gongsun Sheng, who had the deepest relationship with Du Jia, was the representative, Gongsun Sheng coughed lightly and said to Du Jia: "King, is this approach a little too strict?"
Du Jia turned his head and glanced at Gongsun Sheng and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Taoist thinks that I have entered the Demon Dao, right, I said that before, but at this time and that time, we were all facing people from the Great Song Dynasty, whether they were officials or thieves, they also understood the etiquette and rules of our Central Plains, so as long as they surrendered sincerely, we can give them a chance to mend their ways."
But these Tangut people are completely different, their living environment is completely different from ours, the culture is also very different, even the ancestors are not one, they don't know what benevolence and righteousness before, you have seen their atrocities, which is very rare in our place, but for them it is commonplace, so they can only be treated with violence, and then educate after being completely subdued, just like taming wild beasts, At this time, mercy can only cause our own people and warriors to suffer losses. ” Gongsun Sheng heard this, bowed and returned, and the rest of the people also nodded yes, Zong Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang is really powerful, our court is too merciful to treat these Tangut people, there is no pain when they should be beaten, and when they are relieved, they bite back, if King Tang can... ” Halfway through his speech, he suddenly realized that this was a big rebellion and hurriedly closed his mouth, but those smart people actually understood what he wanted to say, Wu Yonggongsun Sheng and the others all looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, several generals sent orders to go down to punish the Western Xia army, destroying half of the tendons on their hands and feet, so that they only had less than half of their strength in the future, whether they walked or exerted their strength, and could only do some simple work without being able to wield knives and guns, just like vicious dogs with teeth extracted, there was no threat.
The Western Xia army was suddenly in chaos, and some people shouted unconvinced, saying that the people of the Tang Kingdom did not keep their promises, and the Song Dynasty was not like this before, Lin Chong burst out and said: "All the people of the Western Xia are listening to me, our Royal Highness the Tang King just promised to spare your dog's life but did not say that he would not punish you, so shut up for me, you all think about how to treat our people during this time, we are already very merciful in comparison."
And you'd better remember, don't compare our Tang Kingdom with that weak and incompetent court, you know in your heart how the Great Song Dynasty has treated you over the years, but how you repay them It can be seen that you are a group of wolves that are not well raised, no matter how good you are, you can still live as a slave honestly in the future, if you dare to make trouble, you can kill on the spot, if you don't believe it, you can try it. ” Lin Chong's words were shouted with the breath of dantian, so although thousands of people were making trouble, they couldn't hide it, and the Xixia people suddenly shook when they heard this, and they realized that the Tang State in front of them and the Song Dynasty they faced before looked the same southerners, but in fact they were not the same thing at all, not only the combat effectiveness was different, but even the rules for treating prisoners and so on had changed.
As losers, of course, they welcome the kind of polite approach of the previous Great Song Dynasty, but many people have forgotten how they treated the people of the Song Dynasty in a tyrannical manner before, there is no such good thing in this world, and they want to enjoy rights but do not want to take responsibility, maybe the previous Song Dynasty had no way to punish them, but Tang Guo made up for this lesson for the Song Dynasty, but the tuition fee was a bit expensive.
At the moment, there were also some fierce and rough Xixia people who wanted to make trouble, Qin Ming Shi Jin and other generals unceremoniously led people to drag them out of the crowd directly, and directly wore them alive on the bamboo poles on both sides of the road and slowly let them bleed and die, which was both physical and mental double cruel torture, which immediately shocked the rest of the people, and they immediately became honest and obediently accepted the punishment.
As Duggard said, for these uncivilized thugs, it is obviously more useful to use a knife than to use benevolence.
Looking at the Western Xia captives crying and howling, Du Jia had no pity in his heart, and the atrocities he had seen in the past few days reminded him of the similar behavior of the Japanese invaders to our country during World War II that he had seen in his previous life, and after the war, the United States unceremoniously stationed troops in Japan, eating, drinking, playing with them, and their college students had to pay for them, but we gently let them go for various reasons There are also many people who jump out and say that they want to be humane to others, in this regard, Du Jia just wants to say a national scolding, are the Japanese also human, at least the soldiers of that period are by no means, they are all brutes, and they can only use the means of dealing with brutes.
Soon the punishment has been disposed of, more than 2,000 Xixia troops instantly became half-crippled prisoners, Du Jia sent a company of men and horses to escort them slowly, and when the time comes, they will be sent to the Jiuquan Mansion to be a slave given to them by the imperial court.
And the Tang army also asked from those captured officers about the movement of another way of the rogue, it turned out that Li Dezhong and Chamur broke a few cities and then divided into two roads, Chamur was ambitious and wanted to go all the way east directly through Yongzhou to Liangzhou, and Li Dezhong was relatively cautious, choosing to continue to rob in the west, so they did not meet the ball brother and the Tang team behind them along the way, which was considered lucky.
However, his good luck now has come to an end, Du Jia has no intention of letting him go, and now that Chamuel's stubborn bandits have been completely solved, it is natural to deal with Li Dezhong, so when the army has dealt with the battlefield and eaten a full meal, as Du Jia pointed to the west, the army continued to drive towards the west
